He is typically depicted in a poised and relaxed posture, exuding an air of confidence and grace that was highly valued among the French nobility and bourgeoisie of the time. The gentleman's clothing and accessories, which often include fine fabrics and intricate lace, are rendered with meticulous attention to detail, showcasing Duplessis's skill in portraying textures and materials.
